About Khadeeja
Khadeeja Mirza is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, and addiction-related concerns.
Her sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversations. She uses a mix of methods to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and build coping skills. That can mean working on thinking habits, motivation, past experiences that still affect day-to-day life, or concrete problem-solving for immediate concerns.
Khadeeja draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to change habits but feel stuck. For deeper history and recurring patterns, she brings in psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Clients and Khadeeja set priorities together and track progress in ways that fit work and family schedules. Conversations aim to be straightforward and usable between appointments.
Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, immigration issues, multicultural concerns, and substance-related problems. Language of service is English and practice is based in California.
BHow sessions work
How Khadeeja uses evidence-based approaches online
Khadeeja commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT helps people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing focuses on resolving mixed feelings about change and can be helpful for addiction, behavior change, and strengthening commitment to goals.She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. Early sessions are used to review needs, try different techniques, and agree on goals and homework that fit daily life. The therapist and client check progress and adjust methods based on what works in practice.
The therapist’s online practice may offer options through the platform used by the service. Because session formats are not specified in the original biography, confirm current session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, childcare, or health needs, and it supports keeping short, focused check-ins between busier days.
